absolution dirt and tires

just sitting next to mortals makes their skin SHOW

and one more before i venture out in the name of clean clothes.

from Beth Nugent's title story in City of Boys.

she said to the girl, her pet, Boys will only break you.

to which the young girl responded silently with, i know. but i still want one. in this whole city of boys, i want to find my boy.

her boy was dirty and cold.

and everyone's always smoking
in films like these.

okay. going to try to stay away long enough downstairs to wash my clothes. i tend to do laundry at, oh, 1 or 2 in the morning these days in order to watch only odd individuals. also i didn't like being smothered by fraternity brothers. i hate that everyone can watch your clothes flap about. but. (shrug)

i like to witness quiet ones.
